yes as long as the drive is not encrypted. I cloned by 500 Hard drive to the SSD 500 GB drive with no issues. once cloned took out the hard drive and plugged in the SSD, booted right up.

Francis, this is a total yes. Are you on a split partition on one hard drive? Does not matter. The kit clones the C drive only. All settings will remain. After you clone the partition. You will reap the benefits of a ssd with minimal difficulties.

I've connected 8 x HGST 4TB NAS drives without issue. The one issue I did have is connecting two of my Samsung 850 Pro SSD drives (a 128GB and a 256GB). Neither drive was recognized when connected through the back plane. The drive sleds support mounting 2.5" drives, but for some reason these SSDs would not be detected. I confirmed the SSDs worked fine when using the same SATA cable connected right to the ports.

This actually works with any sata drive. The SSD will get hot during the clone operation. That's normal. Takes more power to write flash based memory so more heat is produced. SSD runs cooler during normal boot. Apple cables do not get very hot but all the other cables do. This adapter runs hot all the time reading or writing. With a regular drive add a couple rubber feet to the end to support the drive correctly. This makes a air gap that helps with cooling.

It should work fine once your desktop uses SATA for its hard drives (only old ones don't). Note however that this particular package does not include free software to migrate your operating system and data from your current hard drive to the SSD. You'll have to install and use your own software to do this. I recommend Partition Wizard, available from www.partitionwizard.com

Yes, provided the amout of data to be cloned/transferred from the HDD does not exceed the capacity of your SSD.

It would not by itself :). There are a few cloning softwares that would do that. Some ssd's would come with cloning software installed but I don't know if this one does. Also keep in mind the size of the data on the original HD not to exceed your drive capacity

Yes, I did put an SSD in and it works! I bought it in mid 2013 and prices were pretty steep then, so I bought a SanDisk 64 GB Solid State Drive with Low Power Consumption SDSSDP-064G-G25 (on Amazon). The issue is size, it should have the right dimensions and then it just slips right in and works.

The old Compaq supported IDE drives, whereas this supports a SATA interface... this SSD may not fit into your machine, unless there are some converters or adapters available. However, even if the converters or adapters are there, the trasnfer speeds would be that native to the interface you connect this drive to. I think, in your case the best would be to use it as an external drive.

Hi i purchased Transcend 256 GB SATA III 6Gb/s MTS400 42 mm M2. ssd but it's not compatible and not visible on ahci mode and it's very slow on compatible mode, can any one confirm that MyDigitalSSD is visible on AHCI mode and there no compatibility issue

Absolutely! Solid state drive doesn't have moving parts like a traditional HDD. This allows much greater performance and greatly decreases risk of failure....

Yes it support Solid State Drives (SSD), the 120GB Kingston SSDNow V300 and Crucial M5 have the best prices right now (around $0.66 per GB)

Hi Mike,The Acronis software included in the bundle kit, is only available on the DVD but is not required in general to clone your original drive to the SSD. There are a multitude of alternate cloning software programs available online that you can use that work well. One that is known to work with our SSDs is called Macrium Reflect. They have a free version that fully works.Thank you for considering the V300 Notebook Kit.-Jewel, Kingston US Technical Support

All SATA Drives are backward compatible. Go to for a summary: http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8142/~/difference-between-sata-i,-sata-ii-and-sata-iii

No, it does not. I also tried a 3rd party HDD-to-SSD software migration tool yet it lacked adequate features to handle my situation.
